Love the fine print at the bottom of the Photo, "available late 2020".

My 2020 HTC, (NOT a 2021) will apparently be available in late 2020.

I can't wait to see what Rebates and Financing Deals GM will offer on the 2020 Corvette Year End Clearance Sale.

Is that a render? If it’s anything like the configurator renders, it won’t end up looking anything like that in person.

Based upon the picture that came up on two of my computers this new color is appears definitely darker than the historic candy apple red paint color. Looks more a burgundy shade.
We'll see.

Hopefully the render translates better than what they did with Zeus Bronze...

Hopefully its similar to the Mazda red and doesn't have any burgundy color to it.

I'm pretty sure that's not a render; rather an actual photo. It's just a poorly done photo, but it may have been the shadowing effect the photog was after to show the different appearance depending on lighting.

Really hard to say these days but the driver looks photoshopped to me. I know I don’t trust Chevy’s configurator and would want a live shot before ordering.
